Probaly beginners question

Post by PetersCadHouse »

This my first question, Iám dutch so not all Englisch will be perfect.
Edit
Freecad version 0.18 ( also tested 0.19 ) it is not a freecad problem ( user problem :mrgreen: )

I Need to make a lot of piping and to do it right i want to draw it first in Freecad.
A: To learn Freecad better special 3D
B: To make a spreadsheet list with all parts

A:
I have tried the Dodo workbench, it works great but i need PVC pipe joints, T and so on
I discovered the GF+ website and we can download all parts in DXF,Step or Iges ( and a lot others)
Now i downloaded some parts as step file and import in Freecad ok.
The most difficult part for me how to connect them together
It does not (as i hoped) interact with the dodo parts. In the picture below it toke me minutes to insert the pipe to the T- Part.

Can i add the parts to dodo ?
